If I was the judge I would have removed her driving license. If you dig into the facts of the case it wasn't that blatant. The woman was 79 and her grandson was driving. He was parked as she attempted to pry the lid off to add creamer and sugar. There was no cup holder so she was holding the cup between her knees. She poured 190 degree coffee on her crotch and suffered third degree burns, requiring 8 days of hospitalization and a skin graft. She asked for $20,000 to cover her medical expenses and her daughter's loss of income nursing her through her convalescence. McDonald's offered $800 and they were off to the races. The crux of the plaintiff's presentation was McDonald's kept their coffee at 180-190 degrees, much hotter than anyone else. Frivolous lawsuit? Yes but McDonald's could have saved themselves a lot of money by not stonewalling at $800. Apparently they never read 'The Art of the Deal'. She should have received nothing. Coffee is hot, end of story. She should have known this. When I make coffee, I BOIL the kettle. It only cools when adding some milk. This! it cools as soon as it stops boiling Her vagina didn't think so. Her **** didn't get boiled. I never said it did, I said it disagreed that the coffee cooled. The coffee never got to her ****. The articles I read said she burnt it with the coffee. |

On Wed, 19 Dec 2018 07:47:12 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH another 98 lines of absolutely idiotic troll**** unread again -- Another typical retarded conversation between our two village idiots, Birdbrain and Rot Speed: Birdbrain: "You beat me to it. Plain sex is boring." Senile Rot: "Then **** the cats. That wont be boring." Birdbrain: "Sell me a de-clawing tool first." Senile Rot: "Wont help with the teeth." Birdbrain: "They've never gone for me with their mouths." Rot Speed: "They will if you are stupid enough to try ****ing them." Birdbrain: "No, they always use claws." Rot Speed: "They wont if you try ****ing them. Try it and see." Message-ID: |
